Turning 46 this past Thursday, renowned Bollywood actor Rani Mukerji shared candid insights into her personal struggles and journey through motherhood in a recent interview with Galatta India. Mukerji revealed the profound pain she felt due to her miscarriage a few years ago and expressed her anguish over not being able to give a sibling to her eight-year-old daughter, Adira.

In the interview, Mukerji shared her heartbreaking experience of trying for a second baby for seven years after the birth of her daughter. Despite her efforts, she faced the devastating loss of a pregnancy, describing it as a “testing time.” She also attributed her age as a contributing factor to the miscarriage, acknowledging the challenges that come with fertility struggles later in life.

Despite the pain and trauma of her miscarriage, Mukerji expressed gratitude for her daughter, Adira, whom she considers a “miracle child.” She emphasized the importance of being grateful for what one has, even amidst struggles and losses. Mukerji’s resilience and determination to find contentment and gratitude in her circumstances serve as an inspiration to many facing similar challenges in their journey to parenthood.

On the work front, Mukerji’s latest film, “Mrs. Chatterjee Vs Norway,” explores themes of motherhood and ran successfully in cinemas last year. Additionally, Mukerji revealed that she is currently working on writing a memoir, in which she plans to delve into her relationship with her filmmaker-husband, Aditya Chopra, among other aspects of her life.

Mukerji and Chopra welcomed their daughter, Adira, on December 9, 2015, and have since maintained a private family life, shielding their daughter from the paparazzi and social media. Mukerji’s candid revelations about her struggles with motherhood and fertility offer a glimpse into the challenges faced by many women and underscore the importance of empathy, support, and resilience in navigating such deeply personal journeys.
